The quick method:
matrix pmx = values(pmean(x))
But if two or more panel groups have the same mean for x this will
drop the duplicates, which is probably not what you want. In that
case you can ensure you get the full vector of means via
genr time
series tmp = pmean(x)
smpl time == 1 --restrict
matrix pmx = tmp
smpl --full
